Wiz: Sorry it took me so long to get back. Been campaigning. Thanks for the info.

Are any badges still available?

One and all, we have our own celtic fest right here in river town Davenport, Iowa on 23 August 2008. Despite the flooding damage throughout Iowa, everyone here is trying to get back to normal. The...

You say OHIO, like that's a bad thing? Just saw a T-shirt about the Buckeyes making the Wolverines their female dog, thought it was funny. No offense.

Awesome!! Wish we could have joined you. :)

Yes, I think my U.S. Army Special Forces tartan kilt qualifies. My old team sergeant and I, along with Linda Clifford, developed the tartan and had it registered with the Tartan Authority. He and I...

Typical games, good time had by all. Great pics pour 1. :)

Ahhh, too bad, maybe next time. :(

We had the American, Iowa, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, POW/MIA and SAMS flags. The American and Iowa for obvious reasons, the Irish, Scottish and Welsh for the Celts in our midst, the POW/MIA to remind...

Any X Markers at the games, make sure you swing by the SAMS (Scottish American Military Society) tent and ask for Hugh. Would love to meet you and introduce you to some of the other off-kilters that...

Well said MAC. I think that puts end to the discussion. :D

Why not? It will be fun and the SAMS Post 1846 will be there in force - in Scotch - in beer and in all liklihood - in trouble. But what a way to go. :D :D

Excellent shots. Remember, God only made a few good heads and the rest he put hair on. :D

Actually you could probably get a room just about anywhere. There are campgrounds at West Lake Park, 14910 110 Ave, Davenport, 563-328-3281 run by Scott County. They are maybe 5-7 miles from the...

Our version of the Highland Games will be held at the Fairgrounds in Davenport, Iowa. This festival has grown over the past several years and it is getting a pretty good reputation.

Thank you Ham. Really appreciate the lesson. Like many at this forum, i too possess a rather large pile driver, but will do my best to keep the ladies from tittering or my butt sticking to the seat.

Well done. Very striking tartan and congratulations. I would also like to recommend Linda Clifford who helped my old team sergeant and i design the U.S. Army Special Forces tartan. It is a lot of...

Iowa Post 1846 will be wearing their kilts this Saturday at the Freedom Fest in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Hoorah. :D

We hope to take you up on this sometime in '08. What a wonderful place you have. :)

That has my vote as well, what great pictures, i ditto the abso-freaking-bloody-lutely sentiment. :)

Aye, been here as well, spent 3 wonderful days at the Inn, lovely Betty as hostess, and lots of tours into the countryside visiting the finer things in life, the distilleries. :D
